Mile 22

Mile 22 is a deeply flawed film redeemed by one element: Iko Uwais. The Raid star plays a police officer who must be escorted 22 miles to an airstrip while every hostile force in the country tries to kill him, and his fight sequences — handcuffed, outnumbered, using improvised weapons — are the best martial arts choreography in any American film of 2018. Peter Berg’s hyper-edited direction often undermines the action (a common complaint), and Wahlberg’s manic performance is divisive. But when Uwais is fighting, the film becomes electric. The hospital hallway brawl where a cuffed Uwais dismantles six armed guards is worth the price of admission alone.
